Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: she's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of \"the black friend,\" as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel (\"isn't that...white people music?\"); she's been called \"uppity\" for having an opinion in the workplace; she's been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she's ready to take these topics to the page--and she's going to make you laugh as she's doing it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is \"Queen. Bae. Jesus,\" to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, \u003ci\u003e2 Dope Queens\u003c\/i\u003e, to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, \u003ci\u003eYou Can't Touch My Hair\u003c\/i\u003e examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOne of \u003ci\u003eGlamour\u003c\/i\u003e's \"Top 10 Books of 2016\"\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10170970\"\u003ePhoebe Robinson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143129202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143129201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HUM\"\u003eHumor\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HUM003000\"\u003eForm | Essays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO005000\"\u003eEntertainment \u0026amp; Performing Arts\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO026000\"\u003ePersonal Memoirs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhoebe Robinson\u003c\/b\u003e is a stand-up comedian, actress, and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eEverything's Trash, But It's Okay\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eYou Can't Touch My Hair\u003c\/i\u003e.
